LOL! Bruteforce, I'm just giving you a hard time! I have an idea for a mod using the same power lead only different lights. This could actually be more of what I was looking for anyway...
However, if it hadn't been for that bastage "Ed" at the dealership I could be installing the same kit as you now...
Oh well, it all works out in the end, (glass is half full)! Let me know how you like the install when complete ok? :)
 
I've had it back with underbody lights now for a couple days (and nights). Really like the look at night. When I'm approaching in a dark parking lot and unlock using the key fob, the lights kinda look like they're saying "Back off everybody. Boss is coming". One thing I'm going to look at is maybe switching to black light bulbs. One thing Donnie didn't note in his writeup is that they turn on with the dome light so I can switch 'em on while driving too. Not sure how useful that is other than to add to the "WTF is it" factor. :D

After having the K&N Air Charger put on my car and seeing the results it is hard for me to believe that is getting an extra 10hp. I don't want to start a war but on a N/A MM the results aren't that impressive. There is a bigger difference with a blown car then with a N/A car. Maybe your air unit works better than the K&N but I would have to see.

Ummm...Thanks, BigSlim, you just gave me an idea.

Y'all...I've given Tucker more Q&A on his product than most members here, and I like some of the points he responded with. I think he's got a good looking kit, and I think it performs as well as(if not better than) other induction upgrade kits, and cost is a factor in that too. For a while, I believed there wasn't much I could do to bring some fairness to his game, but thanks to BigSlim, I may be able to do that. Jay...Look at this pic?

That's the induction path of the Kenny Brown #1x, the first supercharged Marauder ever built, and built over two years ago. Long before any of the aftermarket induction kits we see today were thought of, let alone made available, hell, it's older than the K&N panel filter, and the superb Trilogy S/C kit. That's the stock/OEM MAF in use, and almost in it's OEM location too.

You also see a custom hand made carbon fiber "bellows" which is very rough inside, like unfinished fiberglass. I'm sure this unfinished inside causes unnecessary turbulence that affects power, and I never liked that. I could care less about the polished exterior, but I believe a smooth and polished interior will make a difference at the RWs. Moreover, it's the bellows all KB builds get, and since there are 50 some KB cars on the pavement, your bellows may be a major improvement for us KB owners, and other owners here may be interested.

If your product shows improvement over what KB developed over two years ago, I'll buy one, and I am sure other KB owners will too. So, here's my offer, Jay. Look at my pics, and if you think your kit will fit my application, please consider fronting me one kit for testing. Just because I'm supercharged doesn't mean I'm not willing to buy 10, or, more RWHP for 120 bucks. That's real bang for the buck IMHO, and I want to investigate this. If I like the results, I'll buy it. If not, I'll return it. Either way, expect me to tell the truth about it here.

Drop me a line at SergntMac@aol.com if you need to see more pics of the KB induction path. Moreover, if you are wondering about my intent, contact Wes Chain, Dennis Reinhart, or, Todd Cook of TCE. I've done this kind of testing for all of them, with legit 411 for our membership.

Mac, it looks to me like my pipe my need to be shorter. Maybe 2" or so. OR, a shorter adaptor from the aftercooler to the MAF. I have that.
What is the outlet size on the cooler? Looks like 3", if so I think I can come up with all the elbows, reducers and MAF adaptor needed.

I would like to get the MAF closer to the cooler to allow a larger volume of air between the MAF and the TB.

MAC, send me your address at jay@jlttruecoldair.com and I will get you what I think will get you going.
BTW, what color? and PCV hook up or breather? I can do either.
Thanks
Jay

E-mail addy is Sergntmac@aol.com, Jay, and I'll FWD that to you shortly.

Meanwhile, I ran back to my garage, turned a few screws, and grabbed these most recent pics.

Sorry about the dirty engine bay, but I just got off the road from a OTR trip to Indy, IN. with a stop in Tipton IN. to visit with an old friend, and all of that through the worst of rain storms I have driven through in a while. Induct01 leads to Induct15, please take a peek at them for more 411?

OMG...It's December 9th in Chicago and I am still taking road trips...WTF?
